a mate is in that spot now, bought a V8 Falcon and now work has normalised and less time at home its up forsale as is, half pulled apart and out of rego. my own missus made me buy a project and now i'm back at work i want to sell it to recover some money to spend on keeping my daily on the road. i'll probably get it registered first but now i'm in a hurry to do so... meaning i'll sell cheaper than i wanted to.

there must be other people who as in the same boat now and alot will be the same in a few months after the vax rolls out

also once car imports ramp up the overprice hilux's and rangers will drop hard when the discounts start rolling in on new ones
and the proper 4x4's will drop after overseas travel gets going.

"all just my opinion with no facts at all"
Spot on
Once supply chains recover and the new car market gets flooded again and the VAX reaches most of the population, these inflated prices will drop hard.
Manufacturers don't want you to buy second hand so the efforts to get people into new cars will be epic. Hell..... all those folks hanging onto all those AU falcons may even be tempted to get into something new..
